Museums of Russia: Sheremetev Palace in St. Petersburg mounts a new permanent exposition “Symphony Orchestra”

The Sheremetev Palace, which houses the largest collection of musical instruments in Russia, has been working for several years to create a fully fledged large music museum within its walls. One of the major steps in this direction was the creation of a new permanent exposition under the title “Symphony Orchestra” in one of the recently renovated halls. The exposition is opening on April 3, 2019. The bright, modern multimedia exposition spotlights the main European musical instrument - the symphony orchestra - from the birth to its flowering in the mid-20th century.
